Views are dots:
This planet, that other-----
Perfect circles, perfect space
&
The calm so absolute with
every hued
Orb intensifying the gigantic
black.

Ball after ball, I lay down &
pray to this,
The symmetry, the distances,
the teeming,
Milling intricacies whose
fibrous cells
I also love.

Give me asteroids, their
random gravitational
Pull. Give comets as bull's
eyes-----

Clouds go over like the music
of ivy,
A Brahm's sonata there in
those stems,
Brahm's meeting the
international, multi-
Cultural, the jazz, sitars &
hip hop.

Hop, hop, I am loose & I am
hip
Over the earth's variations &
what lies beyond
Its skins-----
Eyes as flesh, every pore as
silk, as sifting
Deserts, as Kilimanjaro
snows, & we all
Warmth only, one more mass
energy

Simply significant.

Painter & Poet Stephen Mead (USA)

Can we reproach Rabindranath Tagore with law education? Can we reproach Stephen Mead with ignorance? Some gifted poets, musicians are born painters. Today's guest of THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION Stephem Mead is under such category. His strong point sincerity spreads poet's wings and gives warmth of heart to his paintings. He likes Van Gogh, the Pre-Raphaelites, Redon, Chagall, Käthe Kollwitz. He works intuitively. Let us throw a glance to this Mead's intuition, let us consider in some aspects his art works Over Skies and Astro from "Blue Heart Diary" (see below).

Interesting fact that often the author uses thoroughly cold colors, however, his painting is breathing of warmth. If light colors occupy very small areas of surfaces of Djordje Prudnikoff's pictures and of themselves they become an expensive object of the value giving meaning of magic importance, in Mead's pictures warm colors play role of such carrier of value --... we all warmth only, one more mass energy... Thus photo collage Over Skies has about 25% warm colors and about 0.83% hot colors, Astro has about 17% warm and about 0.7% hot colors. Bright colors and warmth colors coincide like in Rembrandt's pictures, that distinguish themselves on that score. Probably the secret hidden therein in right balance between cold and warmth, in right usage of supplementary colors. In two photo collages from "Blue Heart Diary" simplified scheme of colors application is represented -- supplementary colors orange vs blue (hues) correspond to warmth vs cold (temperatures), correspond to bright vs dark (values).

orange vs blue
--------- -----
warm vs cold

bright vs dark

orange warm bright vs blue cold dark

The circumstance that small dabs of hot colors even moved to pictures' edges corroborates the rule -- the more object of the value is drowned by anti objects the more value is of object.

The secret is hidden therein in right proportions that gifted artist senses intuitively.

Here we touched only one case. It can be also bright all surface of picture, and object of the value brightness can maintain its expensiveness too.
